Hi! I'm a (mostly 3D) visual artist who loves words! Often too many words for short form content platforms. Let's see what we can make of this!

I wrote this #comic while frustrated about my lack of movement on a few things, but got to draw it this week on stream while elated to be still again (at least physically) after a month of travel.

Fall on Hard Times & Crush Them

I gotchu, long shutter cameras. I jotted down this comic script while frustrated with my own exhaustion and perceived stagnation, but was fortunate to actually draw it from a more positive perspective...

On stream this month, I've been having fun designing this #dragon #toy, the winner across platforms of the vote for "what wood dragon object to make for the lunar new year." We're almost done with the #modeling and probably halfway through #rigging (haven't touched the tail or figured out the automated wheel rolling), and I'm excited to get to that carved wood texturing practice that started this.

At last, my #3D recreation of these two characters from Nicholas Kole has yielded a #WIP gif that's not outrageously large! The base of a 6-meters-per-second walk cycle. You can see the rest of the #process as I update it (and have a link in every post to the adorable original art) on my tag here: https://cjgladback.com/tagged/enthusiastic%20entomology (Is it super obvious I added the tags after posting and remembering how Mastodon works? Does that even get the post into the tags? 🤷‍♀️)

I sketched, #inked and did a rough color pass on this in September for a weekly #challenge themed #mundane - I wanted to #illustrate the "not supernatural" definition and a hokey curiosities booth and #raccoon fit the early fall #spooky vibes. #Painting it in the week leading up to Christmas, it was also surprisingly relevant to my late-night #sneaky gift wrapping experience.

For a white elephant #gift exchange, I found a nice set of #chopsticks and some fancy (not air-popped) #popcorn. So of course I had to make a #booklet to complete a chopsticks practice kit!

I *ahem* GOT to put it together in an afternoon (during which I was also baking pretzel knots for the party), so I didn't have time to pack in all the tips and jokes I'd have liked in the little #zine fold. But shifted around for this format it doesn't look empty at all! #howto #DIYgifts #hands #mastoart

Well hi there! I'm CJ, a primarily 3D artist who keeps relating concepts to fiber art or fun science facts, because the knowledge may live in my head but so help me it will pay rent.

In the past couple years, I've gotten to participate in game jams and art challenges, and ramble quite a bit through streams on Twitch while learning every part of the game art pipeline I can.

Likewise, I'm still feeling out what social media presence I can sustain, but this should be fun!
